: Google Books: Cultural History from the VÄåyu PurÄåna

Yojana (योजन): A unit of measurement of distance, according to the VÄåyu PurÄåṇa (वायॠपà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�). The following table gives some idea about their relations to each other:

8 Aá¹…gulas = PrÄådeÅ›a (?);
21 Aá¹…gulas = Ratni;
24 Aá¹…gulas = Hasta;
2000 Dhanus = Gavyūti;
12 Aá¹…gulas = Vitasti;
2 Ratnis or 42 Aá¹…gulas = Kiá¹£ku;
4 hastas = Dhanus;
8000 Dhanus = Yojana.


‘Yojanaâ€� occurs very frequently in the Ṛg-veda and in later works as a measure of distance but there is no reference defining its real length. Later, it is reckoned at four °­°ù´ÇÅ›²¹²õ or about nine miles. It is aslo calculated at 8 °­°ù´ÇÅ›²¹²õ or 18 miles and the estimate of 2 miles is also found.
